Sharing the Philosophy Behind Shopify's Bug Bounty - Shopify
Feb 16, 2017

Summary
This post details the evolution of Shopify's bug bounty program, highlighting the introduction of a high minimum payout ($500) to attract researchers, the commitment to full public disclosure of vulnerabilities post-resolution, and the educational aspect of explaining why certain findings are or are not issues. It provides three specific examples of vulnerabilities discovered: 'The Case of the Invoice Swap' (a URL manipulation bug leading to data exposure), 'The Case of the Sneaky Catfish' (a livechat access token theft vulnerability), and 'The Case of the Remote Code Execution' (a vulnerability in shopify-scripts allowing for memory writes leading to RCE).
